My first PhD paper is out in Nucleic Acids Research! We describe "Ab-trapping" - an antibody artifact that distorts assays relying on antibody diffusion (microscopy, CUT&Tag, CUT&RUN). The revisions made the story much stronger. Check it out! doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Antibody-trapping presents a widespread pitfall for microscopy and genomics in the nucleus

Abstract. Chromatin has a complex 3D structure and diverse binding proteins that coordinate the genome’s most essential functions. Many microscopy and geno

A reminder to use the right P2A sequence to produce separate proteins - the images are from a GPCR-P2A-mCherry construct using a P2A variant without (upper row) and with (lower row) a preceding GSG linker.

Expression of H1R, H2R and H3R tagged with p2A-mCherry-N1 or p2A2-mCherry-N1 in HELA cells. A) H1R_p2AmCherry-N1 B) H2R_p2AmCherry-N1 C) H3R_p2AmCherry-N1. D, E and F show the H1R, H2R and H3R with p2A2mCherry-N1 respectively.

'Why truly innovative science demands a leap into the unknown' Highly recommended talk by Uri Alon, especially for junior scientists. Failure is part of research and negative emotions can arise. Surround yourself by supportive people to help you navigate the cloud. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1U2...

For clear thinking, cultivate passionate indifference. Buddhists call it non-attachment. We all have hopes, desires and ambitions. Non-attachment means acknowledging them, accepting them, and then not inserting them into a process that has nothing to do with you. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Science is a process of discovering how our minds work.. of figuring out what we're drawn to.. there are things that if I force myself to read, I don't retain very well. And other things, I read the first word and I'm riveted, and I just soak it up. – Martin Schwartz on the Night Science Podcast

Some mock research that seems obscure, like studying the wing of a fly. Some claim that science is unreliable because scientists sometimes change their minds. Some fault science for not providing immediate answers. But these criticisms all stem from misunderstandings of how science really works.

Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.

Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness
